1 - 2 April 2017 Harokpion University, Athens

In partnership with the Greek General Secretariat against Corruption (GSAC), the Harokopion University and the Greek Open Technologies Alliance (GFOSS), the OECD organised a Hackathon on Public Integrity in which students, academia, start-ups, software developers, and other participants interested in making an impact in society in the area of anti-corruption, engaged in collaborative computer programming.

The main objectives of the hackathon were:

To create an innovation-driven space to conceptualise and develop solutions to engage citizens to actively prevent and fight corruption in the public sector.

Develop prototype mobile and information-system-based applications and technological solutions to share actionable anti-corruption information with a variety of stakeholders, sectors and end-users.

Connect technology with citizens to help them prevent and speak up about corruption.
